…tach dracut has a "hidden" and undocumented `force` crypttab option (added with commit b7058d0). This option forces the inclusion of a crypttab entry in the initrd, which is useful in some cases where the filesystem check (for whatever reason) does not report a required encrypted device as "crypto_LUKS". On the other hand, systemd provides the `x-initrd.attach` crypttab option since v245. Excerpt from `crypttab(5)`: ``` x-initrd.attach Setup this encrypted block device in the initrd, similarly to systemd.mount(5) units marked with x-initrd.mount. ``` This crypttab option is commonly used to mark encrypted block devices that contain filesystems mounted in the initrd. So, this patch aims to make use of this well-known systemd crypttab option to match the functionality provided by the not so well-known dracut crypttab option. (cherry picked from commit dracut-ng/dracut-ng@61ab338) bsc#1226529
